The Granary had everything you could need away from home. The cottage was cosy, warm private. Everything was great.

Mr Dean

Our first booking through Sykes, having used other companies previously: we will be back!
Cottage owner was very welcoming, photographs do not do cottage justice, there is more room than the photographs suggest.

The house was extremely comfortable and the owners were really helpful and friendly. Everything seemed to have been thought of, with a very informative folder of information for all eventualities.

Mr Pickering

The Granary is a wonderful cottage - the pictures don't do it justice. It's spacious, well equipped, comfortable and situated superbly for exploring all of North Wales. It was dog friendly, with an enclosed rear garden and superb walks literally on the doorstep. We would highly recommend The Granary!

Mrs Bell

Everything in The Granary was just perfect. We had a lovely peaceful holiday. Also it was situated perfectly for touring around and there were beautiful walks on the doorstep. Overall you could not wish for a better holiday.

Mrs Heseltine

March 2015

Usability of the property for four adults was excellent, and there were facilities for our dog as well. The property is easily accessed from the A55 so excellent for getting around by car in North Wales. Many walks in the area as well. Will go there again if possible.

Mr Walker

April 2015

Thoroughly enjoyed this holiday. The cottage was absolutely gorgeous and set in a very peaceful and relaxing area. Good walks available close by for our dog.

Mrs Hughes

June 2015

The Granary is so big, clean and comfortable, and the owners were very friendly. The gardens were great, in the morning you can have coffee in the back, in the sun, and in the evening you can have a glass of wine in the front, in the sun. Whatever your taste or age you could find a book to read. Our dog also really had great time as it was very dog friendly.

Mrs Moore

An exceptionally high standard property, fantastic family home with everything you need. Would definitely go again.

Mr Lowe

A home from home which was very cosy and well equipped. The washing machine and dishwasher was a plus. The beds were very comfy. All in all a very lovely cottage.

Mr Carling

May 2014

The cottage was so well equipped, clean and beautifully maintained. It was cosy (beginning of the week was cold, wet and windy!) as well. The owners were so kind and nothing was too much trouble.

Ms Richardson

June 2014

The Granary was a lovely welcoming home away from home. Each night we'd return and settled in to it's familiar warmth and cosiness. Our hosts were delightful and especially helpful when it came to recommending nearby places visit and places to eat.

Mrs Beasley

October 2013

Beautiful cottage, tastefully decorated with everything you need for a restful holiday. The little back garden is secure so ideal to sit out with the dogs without worrying about them getting out. Lots of walks on the doorstep with some interesting sights.

Mr Edwards

May 2013

A beautiful cottage which made our stay a very relaxing one. The location of The Granary is great for exploring North Wales, with excellent walks on the doorstep.

Miss Smith

Accommodation very spacious and well equipped.

Mr Chapman

October 2013

We echo what a lot of others have said in the past, in that the pictures in the brochure do not do it justice. Also the hosts were exceptional and very very friendly. It was ideal for us as we were visiting friends who had moved to North Wales. It is a great place to stay to base yourselves for some fantastic places to visit in North Wales and the English border (such as Chester). This is one place that we would come back to.

Dr Naylor

August 2013

A stunning cottage presented to a very high standard. We were given a warm and friendly welcome and provided with all the extras and local information we needed.

Dr Dunn

July 2013

This was a comfortable cottage in peaceful surroundings with a beautiful view of the countryside. The dogs were welcomed rather than tolerated. This was our first family holiday and may not be our last!

Mrs Astbury

April 2013

Loved the peace and quiet, it was so relaxing and a 'home from home' - couldn't ask for anything better! Would highly recommend staying there, thank you.

Mr Januszek

September 2013

Good location, and well thought out layout of conversion. Ground floor bedroom with en-suite excellent for 84 year old unable to climb stairs without a struggle. Rear garden well fenced off to contain any pets at the property.

Mr Kelland

February 2013

This is an excellent property, a real home from home.

Mr Tromans

August 2013

This property is decorated to a high standard, but remains very cosy, comfortable and welcoming. It is in a fantastic, secluded location, with only the owners' farmhouse nearby and has surprising views to Moel Famau. I would definitely go back and would recommend to others. The area around it is beautiful and is the perfect location for exploring the North Wales coast, Snowdonia and the Marches.

Mrs May

June 2013

This property has been renovated to an exceedingly high standard. The owners are helpful, kind and friendly and are on hand if needed. The area is well maintained, everywhere is clean and the people friendly. There is good access to major roads that make sightseeing a doddle and the country lanes offer endless opportunities to find hidden gems to explore.

Mr Kilham

September 2012

This was an excellent cottage for a holiday with dogs as the floors were tiled and there was an enclosed area for them to go outside. It was an ideal location to explore the whole of North Wales.

Mrs Woodcock

June 2013

The Granary offers you home-from-home. The hosts were welcoming and went the extra mile to make sure you had everything you needed. If you are looking for 5 star accommodation with beautiful surroundings then The Granary is for you. The photos don't do justice to the property, we will definitely be returning.

Mr Decker

May 2013

I liked the property very much and it was a very nice location. The property was also in a good place for accessing places of interest.

Miss Owen

September 2012

The property was outstanding and the owners were very friendly and very dog friendly. The area was superb. The Granary has everything you need to enjoy your holiday and lots of extras that you do not always find.

Mr Punter

August 2011

We enjoyed that the location allowed us to explore the wonders of the surrounding area. The children particularly liked the castles and beaches.

Mrs Tobin

September 2011

The cottage was lovely and a great base for Chester and Snowdonia. There are good dog walks and lovely scenery on the doorstep. A really comfortable bed made the cottage really cosy. We had a warm welcome from the owner.

Mr Smith

September 2011

The charm and location of the property was perfect with peace and solitude if wanted but not too far from a good country town for your supplies.
It is quite close to many tourist attractions, such as Snowdonia National Park which is within 1 hours drive and Rhyl and Prestatyn just a few minutes away. Walking and the views are really beautiful.

Mrs Young

July 2011

The Granary was fantastic, the owners were very friendly and helpful and the area was central to lots of places of interest. We would certainly go to the Granary again as we enjoyed our stay there very much.

Ms Ede

September 2011

This was a superior cottage. Spacious and comfortable in a lovely quiet location. It was well positioned for a truly wonderful hill-walking holiday, and an excellent place to wind down and relax after a day in the surrounding hills. I also love the Sykes website, it really is easy to use, and leaves similar websites standing.

Mrs Pfeifer

July 2011

Very friendly hosts, excellent base to explore North Wales and great walks around! Very well equipped and very clean! We wish to come back soon!

Mr Scott

The boys (8 5) loved The Granary. Garden is child friendly. They could ride their bikes on the gravel and adjacent bridleway. Very quiet but also very close to A55 so quick to get to many places.

Miss Lambert

March 2011

This is our second visit to The Granary and it won't be our last. It is a real home from home and the owners always make you feel welcome, like your an old friend. We love the location of The Granary and the surrounding countryside - it's the perfect break after the grind of a working week - you can't help but relax here.

Mr Cooper

April 2010

This cottage has been done to a very high standard and is excellent accommodation. We were made very welcome by the owners.

Everything; the barn was converted to a high standard above any rating. A warm welcome by the owners and the Welsh people were so helpful, plus the sun shone all week.

The Granary was spacious and comfortable. It is well placed for exploring North Wales and the owner got the right balance between leaving us to ourselves and helpfulness. My wife and I together with our son and the dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The owners have done an outstanding job of refurbishing the Granary. The bathroom and en-suite were beautiful and the kitchen had also been fitted out to a very high standard. In all it exceeded our expectations in every way,

Miss Lambert

March 2010

Excellent location - fantastic property, a real home from home. Great property for children and dog walking. We all had a wonderful time, including the dog who thought she was in heaven with all the walks right on our doorstep. It was the perfect location to get away. The cottage itself was beautiful, furnished and decorated to a high standard. Owners very hospitable and friendly. We'll definitely be back!! :-)

Mrs Gornall

The barn was absolutely beautiful. The surrounding area was peaceful and had wonderful scenery; an absolute dream for a much needed break. The owners were a lovely couple and we'll hopefully see them again soon.

Mr Burns

August 2009

We had a brilliant holiday, weather was great! Owners of The Granary were lovely and helpful and the cottage was just beautiful. Couldn't have asked anything better from our holiday.

Mr Nye

August 2009

The welcome at the cottage was great, and the books with local info and photos of the area compiled by the owners were very helpful. The views were very good and the view from the Roman lighthouse at the top of the hill was spectacular.

The cottage was stunning! The owners were very friendly, cakes and tea etc on arrival, much appreciated and a nice welcoming touch. The location was perfect for sight seeing or local walks, of which there were lots, well sign posted.

Dr Guy

August 2009

The property is in a very pleasant rural area, but close to all amenities needed. Safe enclosed outdoor area for my dog. The property is a well executed barn conversion. Also the owners were very helpful and friendly.

Mr Waugh

The variety of things to do from relaxing on a beach to hiking up a mountain to shopping in Chester.

We traveled to Wales with my husband during one of his business trips and we spent a week at this pretty little cottage surrounded by rolling hills and sheep :-) The host is lovely, warm and extremely helpful! She made sure we had some Welsh treats in the cottage too. The Cottage itself is very comfortable and homely and has all you need for a long or short stay. The internet was up and down during our stay but I am sure the host will take care of this at some stage. The cottage is not within walking distance to shops so a car is must! We would definitely stay here again! We loved our stay!

Miss Rourke

February 2009

The owners were very helpful and the property was lovely. Would definitely book to stay there again. Totally relaxed at end of stay.

A warm welcome from the owners. The cottage was
immaculate, the beds extremely comfortable.
A good location for Chester but the trek up
Snowdon was the best. Definately avoid Rhyll !!!

My husband and I, and our two young daughters, enjoyed a lovely stay at the Granary. My parents live in the vicinity, so it was a perfect base for us to visit them and other family members. The cottage was spacious yet cosy and felt very welcoming. Also, while close to the owner's home, it felt separate. The owners were friendly and discreet.
The kitchen was very well equipped, there was plenty of hot water and the shower was nice and powerful. Important! The only downside for us was the lack of wi-fi or internet connection - if this could be arranged, this rental cottage would be our ideal Welsh bolt hole!

The Granary is larger than it appears in the brochure and is very nicely furnished. It was very clean and comfortable, with an excellently equipped kitchen. The owners were very welcoming and friendly, and left a welcome pack including some delicious welsh cakes !
